Master Agreement for Video Content Production for Music

An artist sought assistance with drafting a master services agreement with a contractor for the creation of video content for music tracks intended for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and other platforms. The agreement was prepared with a strong focus on protecting the client’s key interests, including: (1) full ownership by the client of all rights to the track, song lyrics, video content, and source project files; (2) detailed regulation of the process for assigning tasks, agreeing scope, timing, and fees through approved communication channels; and (3) strict limitations on the contractor’s use of the content, including confidentiality, a prohibition on independent use of the materials, and a narrowly tailored right to share only a link to the officially published result for presentation purposes. The agreement also includes provisions on acceptance of services, deletion of materials, contractor liability, and contractual penalties for breach.
